Kraton Blown tire

[Travisf90]

I blew a tire today so had to make something else work till I get new tires also what size are the tires

The tires are 3.8 with a 17mm hex. If you are going with proline, make sure to get the 1/2" offset

Why do you need the 1/2" offset ? Could I get away with a zero offset

I haven't tried the zero offset, but i have the desperado rims with the 1/2" offset and it is just a bit wider than factory, maybe 1/8" per side. So I would imagine the zero offset would bring it in too tight

I shredded 2 of mine this weekend.

from my reading, the stock offset is 0.25. All the Pro Line premounts are 0.5 offset which make the truck even wider

I blew up my brand new proline badlands last night and stock tires a few weeks back.
None of them can handle the 6s power of this truck (tried proline truggy tires, badlands, and a few more)
Only tires that work so far without blowing up are sweep racing belted tires

I want those, but they are out of stock everywhere.

Has anyone tried taping the stock tires?

Tower and Amain sell replacement pairs for about $11.

FWIW, i shredded mine on 5S

I managed to get a set of Terrain Crushers...so far so good.

I also bought a new pair of the stock Dboots Copperhead's to replace my torn tires.

They had been $11 per pair from Amain and Tower for the longest time, then they jumped to $30 just as I was about to order.

I got them locally for $17 CAD but then they too bumped the price.
